Talk:Finn James

I wanted to propose a new set up for Finn's IRMs to streamline them a little to make updates easier, while still maintaining the fun array of origins and histories that have been written for them.

The idea would be to group together the IRMs that are mainly concerned with Finn's Origins or history, and move them under a single IRM, using a choose function and framing them as stories Finn tells about themselves and their own origins. Ideally this would be formatted similarly to the "Prayer" section on the Olde One's page, and thus readers would still be able to read the full list of origins if they wanted.

The candidates for being move to this IRM would be:

Finn James/IF-1.2017

Finn James/IF-18.34

Finn James/IF-19.54

Finn James/IF-212.56

Finn James/IF-225.89

Finn James/IF-4577.9

Finn James/IF-666.20

With the reasoning that they cover similar kind of content, and are all a similar length.

This would leave:

Finn James/IF-4.216

Finn James/IF-5.670

Finn James/IF-5055.1

As their own standalone entry, with the others all being condensed into one entry for Finn.

This would cut the total down from 10 IRMs, to 4 and facilitate easier updating to the page, and a better reader experience.

Some of the drafts of what this might look like are available here alongside what the intro text might be for the condensed IRM entry.

Let me know what you think!

Proposing to format this as a File Box IRM due to the nature of the content and the new guidelines for the IRM

summary: IRM entry for the version of Finn who drowned during the war against the Olde One.

Personal Life

Finn James was born and raised in Baltimore, MD, in Bolton Hill. She obtained a high school education with plans of college interrupted by her untimely drowning at the hands of the Olde One. She was deeply involved in her local community and was known for her work at local soup kitchens and food banks. A member of the Lemonstickratic Socialist Party, James’ arrest record was expunged upon what was assumed to be her death, but is suggested by her former associates to be “super long” as well as “totally awesome.”

In interviews, James has self-described as a femme lesbian. Though unmarried, she and partner Kennedy Loser, also a lesbian, have been living together since Season 4.

Career

Before the return of Internet League Blaseball, Finn James fought alongside most of the Baltimore Crabs’ Season 1 lineup in the battle against the Olde One, and drowned in the process, presumed dead by those who knew her. On Season 4 Day 63, James awoke beneath the waters of the Inner Harbor and came to the epiphany that her old friends needed her. When Combs Duende was incinerated, James was able to muster the strength to return to the surface. When asked how this was possible, James credits only “the Power of Love.”

James did not have any significant experience playing blaseball aside from pickup games as a young adult. Because of this, her Season 4 batting average was 0.185. To great celebration in Baltimore as a whole, James became a pitcher in Season 5. She proved to vastly overperform her stars with a career WHIP of 0.881.

Though often overwhelmed by large press events and sometimes derided by reporters as closed-off or cold, James has slotted easily into the Crabs’ known active social lives. She and teammate Forrest Best were notably once seen causing significant disturbance at the Towson Mall food court following the Crabs’ Season 9 championship loss. Damage reports from the incident cite James as saying it was “an accident, really” and that she was “very sorry about the vending machines, you know how Forrest gets.”

Physiology

Finn James was in stasis under the waters of Baltimore’s inner harbor for a questionable length of time, resulting in several physiological changes, including: - Sharp teeth that protrude slightly from her mouth - Pale blue-green skin - Gills on either side of the neck covered by some form of rudimentary operculum - Webbed fingers - An elongated facial spine with a photophore similar in behavior to that of an anglerfish - Ridged, pointed ears These changes were under study by some Baltimore-local scientists prior to James’ ascension. It’s theorized that it could be a form of carcinization, perhaps as a form of defense against the persistent water pressure. James herself, when asked, rejects the idea that her transformation was related in any way to the Olde One, but has no alternate reasoning. No certain explanation has yet been found.

Howdy! I'd like to add a blurb about Finn James's season 10 perfect game to their page, seeing as it's an incredibly rare feat.

My edit would go after the season 5 election paragraph, and be worded as follows:

During Season 10, on Day 72, James threw only the 2nd perfect game in recorded blaseball history. They recorded 4 strikeouts against the Breckenridge Jazz Hands in a 10-0 victory.
